Thats all I ever seem to hear. Is Eve so hardcore that it wouldn't be enjoyable for a guy who has maybe a few hours a night to play a game?

Is it just the niche that Eve fills to make it this way? Or is the comment extremely embellished?

Just to get an idea. You hear this too often in forums and such for this game that I would really honestly like to hear some off based opinions on it. I'm sure a good majority of Eve playersare here as well, so feel free to throw in your input.

I'm not saying that I fill the demographic as a casual player, but I'm just anxious to hear what players have to say on the topic.

There is a lot of information and learning that goes into it when starting out in eve. While the rookie chat line helps it's easy to get frustrated. When i started playing i took baby steps. I played an hour maybe 2 when i started and as i slowly progressed then game got more and more fun. Do ALL the tutorial missions.

I think it's possilble to start out casually, if you go full steam and force yourself to play you wont find it fun. If you get frustrated Q up some skills and take a break. After some time you learn to do more and more things and understand what is going on more.

Here's my opinion of Eve. You don't need to play it. You need to login to set your skill to learn and log. You can monitor them from your phone but when it goes ding, you'll need to log in to start your next skill clocking time.

I found myself (in the beginning) waking up at odd hours to log in just to train my skill. Then I would call the wife from work and have her do it. But once I got a bit higher into them, it became MUCH easier to schedule because the skills take longer and you can plan them out a bit better.

P.S. If I interpet what the person above stated, maybe you can queue the skills now? That'd be kinda cool.

A few months in EVE Uni, free skills, pointers on how to play and avoid dying, when you "graduate" most nullsec renter corps will take you. In a renting corp you can play the game as casually as you like, when I started all I did was log on and make money, take part in mutual defense when I felt like it. Scored nice amounts of money rolling with older players who were in the alliance with me. It can be casual if you want it to be.
